Only about 4 more months

[Surgeon General]

till I can build up a fleet.
I have been doing a lot of home improvement stuff for that past 4 months or so, just as I was starting to tinker with seti. My current project is a perimiter wall, made out of cast bricks with metal work in between the colums. The brick and labor cost me 4k and now I finally got a bid on the metal work for $3,500. Should be done in about 2 weeks.
Then about 4 months latter I should be able to purchase 2 or 3 rigs a month for a couple of months.
I already have built a "dock" for the yet to be purchased fleet in my garadge out of plywood and 2x4's.
Oh by the way does anyone know of a switch or something that I can use to connect one monitor to multiple pc's? I don't really want to have to find a bunch of cheap monitors plus they take up room.
Look out lee, I will be coming for you soon.:D

Hi Will,

Come on, buddy, I be waiting fur ya!! :2guns:

Check out the Apex box (www.apex.com) or the Belkin (www.belkin.com).
Both have up to eight ports for systems, but run off of 1 monitor, 1 mouse, and 1 keyboard.

I use an Apex, but the cost is very high. Close to $1000.00 dollars for the 4 port and the 8 port is not much more expensive.

The Belkin is much more reasonable,
It can be found in most PC stores.

Take care....

At $263 for the 4 port I think I will be going for te belkin model myself. It says I can dasiy chain up to 16 units. Thanks for the info lee.

I have a Belkin and it works great but the only problem I have is that I have to keep it on the box that is booting otherwise I get a no keyboard error and can't enter data :mad: otherwise It's great.

You aiming for me?? I read somewhere that you were arming up. :D

I have quite an aresnal too but I'd much rather have you on my side than against :) With all you milatary guys around here I'm a little outclassed but I'm a damn good shot :D :2guns:

Hi Fara,

Like the guy said to his wife, after returning from war, and found her with another man, "I really missed you, cause I am a bad shot."

Take care......

What do you have farabomb? Got anything you might be looking to get off your hands? I really am in need of a small handgun to take on the trails with me.

Dicki, Mrp, Thanks for the info on VNC, I will read up on it and see what it's all about. Just a qucik question if you guys happen to see this post I read up on it. If I did use VNC, how would I boot the computers up? would I get an error message because of no mouse or keyboard detected?

[MrP]

Hullo,

in your BIOS set it up so that it dosent stop on any errors, this will get you as far as the logon screen.

make sure you have installed VNC as a service so it starts with windows, then you should be able to logon with VNC over the network.

it works in the same way as PC Anywhere, the only thing you might find is that it is slightly slower, but considering its free and takes about 1 mb of space against £30 and 100mb, i knowwhich i prefer

SG, Within my family we have far too many to list. I think we have allmost all calibers that were made.:) My father is an antique collector and we have a couple that were used in the civil war. My brother has taken an interest in expensive shotguns and the rest of my family are hunters. So pretty much name it and we have it. I have a 1911 1a gold cup, browning high power 9mm, and a 30-06 marlin bolt action. Along with some plinking weapons. As of right now I think my brother is getting rid of his SAR but I think I'm getting that :D I don't know exectally what you're looking for but if anything comes up I'll let you know.
